Summer Of '42

Describes a young boy's coming of age in a small New England community in 1942.

The film opens with a series of still photographs appearing over melancholic music, representing the abstract memories of the unseen Herman Raucher, now a middle-aged man. The film flashes back to a day that then 15-year-old "Hermie" and his friends – jock Oscy and introverted nerd Benjie – spent playing on the beach. Oscy is obsessed with the act of sex, while Hermie finds himself developing romantic interest in the bride.
